Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This is nothing new. I’d love for the Russians to release what they have on Trump.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 month ago (4 children)

What could it possibly be that his supporters would care about? Even if it's a pedophile thing, we already know about the Epstein files. His supporters wore diapers to rallies, if it was just a piss thing, it would probably just become all the rage with conservatives.

been so jarring watching all my "hardcore patriot" acquaintances go wtf I love Russia now just in the last five years

like, it makes sense but it was just so sudden you know?

[–] wulrus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Conspiracy theory:

Soviet Union realises it'll never become the sole superpower by conventional means. Makes "stupid" decisions, collapses, becomes "democracy". Let things calm down for a few decades, then plant a pro-Russian president (Communist president would have been too radical). Suddenly, it's the right that is pro-Russia. Now, bring back Communism and the Soviet Union.

MAGA-patriots: Yay, Communism!!! Tankies: Unsure what side to pick

Didn't the German commies sell the actual German socialists down the river by supporting the Nazis?

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Yep, the people supporting Trump are not rational, they are in a cult and they will justify pretty much anything to keep the cult going.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

i really hope it's not proof of a pedophile thing because of what his supporters would do

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Murder raping a child who looks like Ivanka and he calls Ivanka?

Being reamed by a tall black guy while he moans Obama Obama?

I actually think his base would be more put out by the second option

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s not new. Trump has an obsequious demeanor whenever he is around Putin.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

He's a total sub when around Putin.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The former KGB 6th Directorate might have more files on the bastard.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 94 points 1 month ago
[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 88 points 1 month ago

Release the Trump/Epstein files

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 62 points 1 month ago

Just another meeting with the boss!

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

Yep, Krasnov knows he's a Moscow puppet. FFS it was a Helsinki 2018 repeat.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 month ago

Release the trump/epstein files so we can get on with imposing no consequences whatsoever, so we can get on with NOT removing him from office even with blatant evidence of crimes that should have disqualified him from the presidency

[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 30 points 1 month ago

I mean this is the same guy who pulls out chairs for genocidal war criminals (Netanyahu) so… he’s just staying on brand.

Is the video in the article? I don't see it.

[–] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Slightly more than half at least.

Fat orange bitch needs to leap forward in time to the part where he hangs himself with at stupid fucking tie in a bunker.

I wonder if he would turn purple or stay orange

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Turns purple behind the orange.

That dumbass helped me save 40% the full price on a PC by helping me realize I could use AliExpress instead of Amazon.

Thank you Trumpet

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Trumpet made me realize I don't need to depend on American stores.

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ah, ok, got it.

[–] ur_ONLEY_freind@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How would the world react to Trump and Putin secretly being in a relationship? Like if a video leaked of Trump on his knees giving Putin a sloppy backstage of an event they were both at?

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

Would be funny to see MAGA have to pretend they're cool with gay people now, or at least with one gay person

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Orange sloppy toppy for that Russian cream.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

So did the west. It was pathetic. What a weak little baby you elected America.

[–] marsza@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 month ago

Videos deleted?

Try enabling reader (reading?) mode on a mobile device. It works for me.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

besides the fact that he's comprimised and subordinate to him, its a big deal to trump that he thinks its going to be him that stops this war, as if anyone in the world could stop it outher than bunker grandfather vova, (Putin)

its a big deal to trump's brand, he's been whining about the nobel peace prize earlier, stuff like that in their mind, legitimizes their regime.

Publishing and leaking are not the same thing.
